Luye Yuan Rooftop Lounge Collection

2025 · Independent Study Project

Chengdu, Sichuan · Instructor: Urvi Sharma

A furniture collection developed through a rooftop lounge scenario at Luyeyuan Stone Carving Art Museum, exploring material restraint, spatial atmosphere, and modes of gathering.

Rooted in Sichuan, the project draws from Liu Jiakun’s architectural clarity and Xie Ke’s atmospheric, material-driven interiors. Walnut, ceramic tile, and limestone form a collection designed to reactivate the museum’s unused rooftop while remaining aligned with its architectural character.

Between Life and Death

Digital Collage Project

Speculative worldbuilding

Rather than treating life and death as a fixed binary of presence and disappearance, this speculative worldbuilding project constructs two spatial worlds: one governed by efficiency, repetition, and functional clarity, the other by stillness, withdrawal, and absence without spectacle.

Between them lies an intermediate condition, articulated as an inhabitable interior system. Through spatial sequencing, enclosure, and layered interior elements such as furniture and texture, the worlds overlap rather than resolve. Everyday routines persist as spatial rhythms, while hesitation, suspension, and quiet withdrawal are embedded into circulation, scale, and material articulation.
